How about all the rich Hollywood leftists come forward and chip in to fix it?

Fri, 23 Dec 2011 21:10:37 +0000http://hotair.com/?p=171389#comment-5216260This is classic bureaucratic nonsense saying it will ‘cost’ you more to demand the city/county/state bureaucrats do their jobs.

When the State Houses were taken over by the unions in Wisconsin there was damage in the millions. How pays for the damages? When OWS caused a business to close its doors in NYC who bails the business owner out that lost his business because customers were unable to get to his door? Blame it all on the bureaucratic BS not doing their jobs. I suppose it’s ok that someone defecates on a police car or spitting in the face of a police officer.

Since the mayor and the city council allowed, if not encouraged, the damage to happen, let their salaries be garnished to pay for it.

What the city Fathers should do now is send the clean up bills to the union halls that supported them. Just to add a bit of irony to the pictures of that mess, put the pictures of the Washington Mall on the Net after the Tea Party left the Washington Mall.

One was arrested for public drunkenness and posession of drugs, and the other for resisting arrest, she said.

How do you arrest someone for resisting arrest? I mean, don’t you have to have something to arrest them for before they can resist it?

Fri, 23 Dec 2011 20:23:25 +0000http://hotair.com/?p=171389#comment-5216139This whole ‘cost’ thing is bogus. The city/county/state pays fixed costs for law enforcement, fire, animal control, building inspectors, city/county ‘services’. The cost of law enforcement doesn’t go down if there isn’t any crime. The cost of fire departments doesn’t go down if there are no fires. Saying this occupy protest ‘costs’ the local government is not true. Then they start talking about all that ‘overtime’; law enforcement can’t move a few hundred protesters out of a park during their regular shift?

This is classic bureaucratic nonsense saying it will ‘cost’ you more to demand the city/county/state bureaucrats do their jobs.

Fri, 23 Dec 2011 19:45:26 +0000http://hotair.com/?p=171389#comment-5216029When this OWS nonsense started, I challenged some of its backers to max out their credit cards, and get as many loans from the bank for new cars, houses, etc., as they could. After all, OWS was destined to triumph, and one of its demands was the “forgiveness of all debt”.

So far as I know, no Flea Partier took me up on that offer. But if the breakup of the Obamavilles merely marks “the next step”, then my challenge to the Flea Party stands: run up those credit cards, Occupiers!

The very fact that they’ve been put-up with for so long, in the country that they despise, should make the very thought of entertaining any Communist ideology an embarrassment.
